Ripe cottonballs, ready to harvest

The 2010 Cottonball Crop

As you can see, it’s time to harvest the cottonballs! They are big and very ripe on this February morning. Now that the auto industry is on life support in Michigan, perhaps this exciting new agricultural product can bring us back from oblivion.

Whenever I can photograph scenes without using my camera’s flash, I’m thrilled. Thrilled! The flash flattens all things and often leaves harsh, unrealistic shadows. I’d rather shoot fuzzy images illuminated by available light than use it. Here, the light comes from a spot attached to the soffit of a Brighton home. It casts beautiful shadows on the freshly fallen cotton, don’t you think?
